Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant check what is in a person's kitchen, suggest saved recipes they can cook now, and queue recipe links to import.

What you can do
Connects to a personal pantry and cookbook account. It lists pantry, fridge and freezer items with expiry dates, ranks the user's saved recipes by how much of each they already own, and adds items from plain-language input such as grocery mentions. It also lists saved recipes and queues a recipe link (Instagram, TikTok or a food blog) for import, and reports which account the connection acts for and its plan.
When to use it
Useful when someone wants dinner suggestions based on what they already have, wants to know what is in the fridge or about to expire, or wants to add groceries or save a recipe link to their cookbook.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at thepantrybutler.com; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. It acts on a specific user account, so that account and its plan are needed.
Before you install
It reads and writes personal kitchen and recipe data: adding items changes the stored pantry, and saving a recipe only queues a link for import rather than importing it. Recipe limits apply to the account. No authentication method is declared in the manifest, so confirm how the connection is tied to the right account before use.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open The Pantry Butler in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.thepantrybutler%2Fpantry/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

cook_tonight

Cook tonight

Recipes this person can cook right now with what is already in their kitchen. Use this whenever they ask what to cook, what's for dinner, what they can make without going to the shop, or what to do with what they have. Returns their own saved recipes ranked by how much of each they already own, with the missing ingredients named. `can_make: true` means nothing is missing.

Parameterslimit

list_pantry

List the kitchen

Everything in this person's kitchen — pantry, fridge and freezer — with expiry dates where known. Use this when they ask what they have, what is in the fridge, or what is about to go off.

Takes no parameters.

add_pantry_items

Add items to the kitchen

Add items to the kitchen. Accepts plain language exactly as a person would say it — "2 lemons", "half a bag of spinach", "chicken thighs". Use this when they mention shopping, unpacking groceries, or having bought something.

Parametersitemsrequiredlocation

list_recipes

List saved recipes

The recipes this person has saved, newest first, with the creator each came from. Use this when they ask what they have saved or want to find a recipe by name.

Takes no parameters.

save_recipe

Start saving a recipe from a link

Queue a recipe link to import — an Instagram or TikTok post, or a food blog. Use this when they share a link and want it in their cookbook. Returns { accepted, url } after checking the link and their recipe limit. IT DOES NOT IMPORT THE RECIPE BY ITSELF — do not report it as saved on this result alone. Finish it in two more calls with the same token: POST { url } to the `next` URL to run the extraction, then POST the draft it returns to /api/v1/recipes. Both are documented at https://thepantrybutler.com/api-docs.

Parametersurlrequired

whoami

Which account is connected

Which account this connection acts for, their plan, and how many recipes they have saved. Never returns an email address.

Takes no parameters.
